1 Cambridge Assessment International Education Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education LATIN 0480/13 Paper 1 Language MARK SCHEME Maximum Mark: 10 Published This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for Teachers. Cambridge International will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes. Cambridge International is publishing the mark schemes for the series for most Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge International A and AS Level and Cambridge Pre-U components, and some Cambridge O Level components.

2 Generic Marking Principles These generic marking principles must be applied by all examiners when marking candidate answers. They should be applied alongside the specific content of the mark scheme or generic level descriptors for a question. Each question paper and mark scheme will also comply with these marking principles. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 1: Marks must be awarded in line with: the specific content of the mark scheme or the generic level descriptors for the question the specific skills defined in the mark scheme or in the generic level descriptors for the question the standard of response required by a candidate as exemplified by the standardisation scripts. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 2: Marks awarded are always whole marks (not half marks, or other fractions). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 3: Marks must be awarded positively: marks are awarded for correct/valid answers, as defined in the mark scheme. However, credit is given for valid answers which go beyond the scope of the syllabus and mark scheme, referring to your Team Leader as appropriate marks are awarded when candidates clearly demonstrate what they know and can do marks are not deducted for errors marks are not deducted for omissions answers should only be judged on the quality of spelling, punctuation and grammar when these features are specifically assessed by the question as indicated by the mark scheme. The meaning, however, should be unambiguous. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 4: Rules must be applied consistently, e.g. in situations where candidates have not followed instructions or in the application of generic level descriptors. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE : Marks should be awarded using the full range of marks defined in the mark scheme for the question (however; the use of the full mark range may be limited according to the quality of the candidate responses seen). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE : Marks awarded are based solely on the requirements as defined in the mark scheme. Marks should not be awarded with grade thresholds or grade descriptors in mind.

3 MARK SCHEME NOTES The mark scheme includes suggested responses but examiners will credit all acceptable variants. Key ; separates alternative responses to the question / separates alternative wording within the same response OR separates possible variants in a response which are mutually exclusive (award marks for one OR the other, not parts of each) [ ] the word, phrase or unit in brackets is not required but is in the mark scheme for clarification. Instructions for marking Section A Marks are awarded positively to demonstrate positive achievement, rather than penalising for an incorrect/incomplete response. Where the sense of the translation is less clear, examiners should give credit for elements that are correct (according to the agreed mark scheme). Glossed words will have no value for meaning alone. Active passive interchange is allowed but must be complete i.e. no missing agent. Candidates are expected to render the translation passage into sensible English and not rely on a word-for-word substitution translation. Examiners are reminded that candidates are expected to render the translation passage into sensible English and not rely on a word-for-word substitution translation. Specimen translation: After Caesar arrived there, he surrounded Pharus with a fleet. He placed the Rhodian ships in the first line. At once, the Alexandrians led out and drew up their ships. There were very narrow shoals between the two forces. The commander of the Rhodian ships was Euphranor who was so brave that Caesar trusted him very greatly. He, when he understood what Caesar intended, said, Caesar, you seem to me to fear in case you lose many ships if you enter the shoals with the first ships. Entrust the task to us; we will attack the enemy and we won t deceive your faith. You must give us the opportunity for glory. Caesar, after encouraging him, gave the signal for battle. The Alexandrians surrounded the Rhodian ships after they had advanced across the shoals and made an attack on them. However, the battle was not at all equal. For after the Rhodian sailors had been driven back, neither on land nor sea was hope of safety being given to the conquered. UCLES 2018 Page 3 of
